"up for your next project? ms. lee?" my personal assistant, minju asked while doing my already done hair. "i heard your partner was from different country. isn't that exciting?" i smiled at her,
"it really is"
she looked at her wristwatch and exhaled. "the meeting will be in five minutes, i think we're all done?" i nodded.
"hey min"
"yes ma'am?"
"why won't you apply as her personal assistant? you like that artist, right?" i looked at her, the frog just laughed.
"kang hyewon? fuck it, she's so pretty, i might just die and i couldn't just leave you, you know" she winked at the end. i laughed at her, she's so crazy.
the five minutes went by and i'm already here, sitting in a chair, facing a Japanese guy, my partner's manager.
"i'm sleepyyy~" minju yawned beside me, i immediately slapped her arm and told her to behave. "sorry, just got bored"
"she might be late, sorry for that" the guy spoke in Japanese. i said it's all fine.
"you understand what he's saying? waaah! you're fucking talented!" minju hit my arm. i put my index finger against my lips, telling her to shut up.
this new project is easy, just a piece of cake not until i met who my partner is.
how could i act with my ex? her manager and mine, even minju doesn't know anything about us for we kept our relationship secret for four years.
"don't you think her assistant is fucking beautiful? no offense, she's beautiful as well but... fuck... just look at her. i'll ask her for a date" whispered minju when the two entered the room where the meeting was supposed to be.
"you sound like perv. and didn't i tell you to shut up? gossiping about other people wasn't necessary" i scolded. minju just acted like she zipped her mouth and finally shut up. she wasn't saying anything but i could feel she's praising sakura's assistant inside her head. not gonna lie, she's indeed pretty.

"are you sure you're gonna play the role? there's no turning back once you've sign this paper" director kwon stated.
"yes" we both answered in Korean. i looked at sakura, she changed a lot. everything about her– have changed.
"okay then, the first shooting will on tuesday. i bet you already read the script? and there's some scene where you two have to kiss, was that okay?"
"for me it is, what about you? what was your name again?" asked sakura as she looked at me. did she just ask me what the hell is my fucking name? i suddenly felt my heart ache.
"it's lee chaeyeon" i answered and looked at eunbi to answer the question. "any scene's fine with me, you don't have to worry"
"okay, so here is it" director kwon handed us the paper and without any hesitation, we signed it.
"thank you for today, ms. lee and ms. miyawaki. you might hang out so when the shooting starts, it's not that awkward" she suggested. we agreed. and bowed before she could left the room.

c'mon sakura collect yourself. you fucking wanted it why are you nervous now?
my nervousness ate me up that i suddenly forgot her name and acted stupid.
it's just a project,
it's just a project,
it's just a project.
